What Is Metabolic Health?
Metabolic health is how well your body:
- CONVERTS food into energy
- How it MANAGES the energy
Your body is a Duel Fuel burner and gets energy from Glucose (sugar) or Fat.
A good analogy is a fire place. Fuel from glucose is like feeding your fire with paper ... it need to be CONSTANTLY FED to produce heat.
On the other hand, fat for fuel is like feeding your fire with a log ... will burn much longer without having to constantly feed it.
When Your Metabolism Is Working Well ...
Your body switches from using glucose, to using stored fat for energy. This will maintain healthy blood sugar levels, which also regulate important hormones involved in appetite, energy and fat storage.
What Is Poor Metabolic Health?
When your metabolic health begins to decline, the body can become less efficient at managing energy. This can lead to Insulin Resistance, elevated blood sugar, increased fat storage and a greater risk of chronic health conditions.
Insulin Resistance - The Root Cause Of many Chronic Health Conditions!
Most health professionals focus on reducing symptoms. My approach is very different. I focus on the WHOLE person to get to the cause of the symptoms.
Your body has the ability to heal itself when in the right environment with good nutrition.
